First published I 1975 by Macmillan this our first ever encounter of the loveable detective. I have now read this book quite a few times and I am still finding new twists to the plot, of course I know the ending but it is still worth reading two or three times to find the very subtle clue that Colin Dexter leaves in the story .
this is a brief description of what the story is about .

Sylvia Kaye and another young woman had been seen hitching a ride not long before Sylvia's bludgeoned body is found outside a pub in Woodstock, near Oxford. Morse is sure the other hitchhiker can tell him much of what he needs to know. But his confidence is shaken by the cool inscrutability of the girl he's certain was Sylvia's companion on that ill-fated September evening. Shrewd as Morse is, he's also distracted by the complex scenarios that the murder set in motion among Sylvia's girlfriends and their Oxford playmates.

this was the first detective novel I had bought and it set me on a path of discovering other authors like Frederick Forsythe, John le Carre and many others . In my opinion Dexter is up there with them all .
In my opinion this would suit readers of all ages and is a thoroughly enjoyable read.
